Hallicrafters R-274/FRR SX-73 Receiver
Hallicrafters SUPER PRO Receiver is also known as the R-274D and the SX-73
At $975, the sales of SX-73 receivers must have been incredibly slow. A cabinet is mentioned in the Hallicrafters' ads but usually the artwork shows the SX-73 as a rack mount receiver. The R-274 (TM11-897) military manual mentions a CY-699/FRR metal case for table use but it is unlikely that this was what Hallicrafters offered (see below for photos of Hallicrafters' CY-1345/GR cabinet for the R-274D.) There was at least one advertisement artwork that showed an SX-73 that was repackaged to look like a civilian Hallicrafters' product with large dial and meter bezels along with stylized grab handles and cabinet. Whether this version was actually produced is unknown.
Today, the SX-73 version is rarely encountered, however the military version R-274D/FRR does show up from time to time. These receivers have a dedicated following of enthusiasts who actively use their receivers. Many feel that the R-274D was one of Hallicrafters' best efforts in receiver design and performance. From serious SWLs to hams using the R-274D for communications in Vintage Ham Stations, both are users who want a receiver that features impressive sensitivity and great audio reproduction along with a Spartan-like military appearance
